FRIDAY MORNING Aug. 24, 1866 Whjt Becomes of the Piss?— This question, says an exchange, has often been asked, but has never yet so licited a satisfactory answer. Few per sons are aware of the enormous con sumption of the useful little instrument. The annual report of the Secretary of the Treasury, ten years ago, contained some interesting memoranda relative to manufactures, furnished by Hon. Philip Allen, then Senator from Rhode Island, in which, among other things, he stated that the number of pins made per an num in the United States, was two bil lions, six hundred aud seven millions, three hundred and sixty thousand. Now the old question comes up for solution : What becomes of the pins? The pop ulation of the country was then twenty six 'millions. Does each individual— man, woman, and child—consume one hundred pins a year? for that would be the average supply. But it is well known that it is only one sex who use pins at all. Ddes each American ex ample of the feminine gender consume two hunded pins a year ? From baby hood to maturity, and from that to tho grave, the passion for pins, it is ad mitted, is a part of woman’s nature; but we submit that this fact affords no satisfactory explanation of the disap pearance of twenty-six hundred and seven millions of pins per annum. The question, therefore, still remains—what does become of the pins ? Coulditx Get ikto Paradise.—A legend has it that a Brahmin, who had quitted his wife and this world, appeared ■as the gate of Brahma’s paradise and asked for admission. The god e‘n iaxwir jmi‘fitTiiTii'ji’ni'fuim'/'f — •No. hut I have been married.” “Coma in then, it's the same thing.” Jnst at this time another defunct Brahmin made his appearance, ask ing to be let into Paradise. “Why,” said the god, “have you been to purga tory ?” “No : neither had the last ap plicant.” “Aye, true enough ; but he had beeu married.” “Then I am as good, nay, a better fellow than he is. I have been married twice.” “Then clear out with ye; this is not your destina tion. Paradise was not made for fools.” —A country school-master, preparing fur an exhibition of his school, selected a class of pupils and wrote down the questions which he would put to them on examination day. The day arrived, and so did the hopefuls, all but one. The pupils took tbeir places as was ar ranged, and all weut on glibly until the questiou of the absentee came, when tbe teacher asked, “In whom do you be lieve?” “In Napoleon Bonaparte!” was the answer quickly returned. “You believe in the established church, do you not?” “No,” said the youngster; “the boy that believes in that church hasn’t come to school to-day.” —On anew treatise on etiquette, an editor remarks: “The title page of this book says that every lady and gen tleman should possess it. The unso phisticated reader will naturally suppose that no lady or gentleman will find it necessary.” —A “bride” recently startled the officiating clergyman at Hampshire, England, by making the extraordinary vow to her husband, “to ’ave and too ' ’old from this day fortni’t, for better horse for richerer power in siggerness else to love cherries and to bay.” —Ex-Confederate General S. F. War. ren, now in Cincinnati, declares that he “was not whipped in the recent war, hut hadn’t time to fight the thing out, and so concluded to surrender.” —lt is so hilly in some parts of New Hampshire that the people look up the chimneys to sec when the cows come home. —The Pottsville Journal it wants a nurse to take care of a basket' of children left at his office a short time since. —Only six oat of sixteen “detec tives’! in New York are above suspicion of collusion with thieves. —A young lady fn Chicago left her waterfall in pawn for shoes. The next day she redeemed it. —When a soldier wants a kiss what military manoeuvre does he perform ? lie goes to the “right face.” failj jprtss.
